---|---|---|---|---|
"At times deeply insightful, at others wholly crass, Rolling Thunder is a fascinating curio, the meeting point between realism and exploitation." | ||||
"While 'Rolling Thunder' suffers from Schrader's predictable obsessions with masculine ritual and gunplay, Devane and Jones enhance the material with their nuanced, sensitive portrayals of men who have lost their souls in another land" | ||||
"Excellent cast performs well, but not well enough and Paul Schrader's story is strong, but not strong enough." | ||||
"John Flynn's crisp, laconic direction and evocative use of Southern Texas locations transform Rolling Thunder into a more distinctive exploitation movie than it deserves to be. " | ||||
"'Rolling Thunder' is a bloody, nasty, complicated action movie for a bloody, nasty, complicated moment in American history" |
